Chapter 9 *Edited*

A/N: Edited July 3rd, 2023

------------------------------------------------------------

It's been a few days and the Hashira have been real antsy around you. It's as if they wanted to tell you something but, they were unsure of how to go about it as if they were scared of a reaction or scared they may be overstepping a boundary. None of this includes Muichiro because all he wanted was hugs, cuddles, and eating together, he really was like a child and, he tugged at your maternal instincts. Strange. You were getting off-topic though you were going to find out one way or the other and, you think you'll get them after the Hashira meeting. Ubuyashiki San wanted to have them more often so that the Hashira can bond which you didn't mind because you would take advantage of any time you had with them. Even though right now you had a reason. Tengen was here just to visit not to actually participate so, he waited outside the gates. Everyone knew he can hear everything anyway. Once the meeting is over you decided to grab Mitsuri real quick watching her squeal as you picked her up.

"EEEEE I KNOW I SAID I WANTED A HUSBAND BUT I WANT A WIFE TOOO" She was kicking her feet turning red at your smirk. She was cute and, you enjoyed flustering her even though that wasn't your goal at the moment.

"I wouldn't mind filling that spot on but, I got a question first." She finally shyly met your eyes even though she was still hiding behind her hands. The other Hashira had stopped watching the interactions even though Giyu was slowly inching his way out. "Are you going to tell me why you guys are acting this way or do I have to guess?" That got all of their attention and they all froze. You looked around at all of them and Sanemi had a grimace. So, you were right. "You guys have been acting skittish. Is there something you guys wanna tell me? I promise it won't upset me. Also, Tengen you can come now darling." You looked over to see Tengen was already making his way with an unreadable expression.

"Fine, do you remember that night you got drunk" You blinked at Kyojuro not expecting that to be brought up but, nodded having set Mitsuri back down on her feet.

"Well, you said something that I don't think you wanted to say" Now you're rattling your brain trying to think what could have inebriated you could have possibly said to warrant this kind of reaction from them. You honestly can't think of anything.

"I'm not entirely sure what I could possibly have said but, I'm sure it's not horrible." You waited for one of them to fold and tell you. You stared waiting patiently.

"You told us how you were a Courtesan for years as a child." You felt like someone dumped a bucket of ice-cold water on your head. You froze staring straight ahead trying to wrap your mind around the fact that the one thing you thought you would take to the grave was said while you were drunk. 

"This is why I hate alcohol." It wasn't their fault though. No one forced you to drink and, well you didn't think that you would expose your deepest darkest secret like that. You were trying to come to terms with that now they all knew and, well you would have been pissed if it was forced out of you but, it wasn't. Clearly, you trusted them enough to say that even while drunk. You can also understand why they would be hesitant to say anything but, why did they choose now to say something? "I have a question." You glanced over all of their faces. "How come you guys decided to tell me now? Wouldn't it have been better for me not to know that you guys knew already?" You weren't angry at them, you were angrier at yourself for being vulnerable. That was a time of your life you always wanted to forget and for you, yourself to bring it up so casually was making your stomach turn.

"It felt like it was a breach of privacy and, would break your trust." It was Obanai who said this and, the others agreed. You can get behind that logic. It doesn't help that you're now very upset with yourself. You never wanted that secret to get out because you figured they would treat you differently. Treat you as damaged goods and kick you out of the corps.
